The first tumbler 41 is annular, and it sets to the concave on an end face and forms depressed part 411, and corresponding depressed part 411 forms first fitting surface 413 towards this end face of an annular.The first tumbler 41 is included in also that depressed part 411 inner edges set to the concave the installation portion 415 that forms, the first fixed part 419 of first groove 417 of " V " shape of being opened in the first tumbler 41 outer surfaces and the annular that forms around depressed part 411.Depressed part 411 is step-like ringwise, offers the pilot hole 4131 around depressed part 411 peripheries on the first fitting surface 413, uses for steel wheel 35 installings.Installation portion 415 comprises the first installed surface 4151 of an annular.The first groove 417 is opened in the first tumbler 41 peripheries approximate mid-section position vertically.The first fixed part 419 is in a side of the first groove 417 and radially offers four the first fixing holes 4191 that communicate with depressed part 411.Four the first fixing holes 4191 evenly distribute along the first fixed part 419 peripheries.
The second tumbler 43 is sheathed on the first tumbler 41, and it is for roughly circular.The second tumbler 43 comprises the second fitting surface 431 of being formed on the end face, is raised in the second fixed part 433 on another end face, and second groove 435 of " V " shape that is arranged with around the second tumbler 43 inner surfaces.The second tumbler 43 connects on the second fitting surface 431 and offers pilot hole 4311, on the second mechanical arm 20.The second fixed part 433 is along the second tumbler 43 inner edges to the annular projection that protrudes out away from the second fitting surface 431 directions.Offer four the second fixing holes 4331 around the second fixed part 433 peripheries.The first fixing hole 4191 corresponding communicating on the second fixing hole 4331 and the first fixed part 419.The second groove 435 is relative with the first groove 417 openings to form one in order to accommodate the receiving space of rolling member 45.
Rolling member 45 is a plurality of and for cylindric, it rollably is installed between the first tumbler 41 and the second tumbler 43.
In the present embodiment, the quantity of fixture 47 is four, and each fixture 47 is made by ceramic material and to be cylinder pin-shaped.
Cross line cylinder 50 and be tubular, it comprises ring body 51 and by the coaxial quill shaft shape that extends to form of an end of ring body 51 and the convex extension part 53 that is interconnected with body 51.
See also Fig. 5, during assembling, flexbile gear 33 is contained in the first mechanical arm 10, and flange 333 is fixed in the first mechanical arm 10.Actuator 31 is fixed in the accommodation section 331 of flexbile gear 33, and the convex extension part 53 that will cross line cylinder 50 is arranged in the actuator 31, body 51 is fixed in the second mechanical arm 20.
Bearing 37 is movably set on the accommodation section 331 of flexbile gear 33 and its outer ring is fixed on the flange 333 of flexbile gear 33.The contiguous bearings 37 of steel wheel 35 are sheathed on the accommodation section 331 of flexbile gear 33 and steel wheel 35 are fixed on the inner ring of bearing 37.Second gear teeth 3511 on the inwall 351 of steel wheel 35 are meshed with first gear teeth 3311 on the flexbile gear 33.The first tumbler 41 is sheathed on the actuator 31 and with the first tumbler 41 rotationally by bearing is arranged at steel wheel 35 away from an end of flange 333, wherein 419 activities of the first fixed part are sleeved on the steel wheel 35 and steel wheel 35 parts are contained in the depressed part 411 and are fixed on the first fitting surface 413.A plurality of rolling members 45 are inserted in the first groove 417 of the first tumbler 41, and the axes intersect of adjacent rolling member 45 becomes 90 degree cross arrangements.The second groove 435 of the second tumbler 43 is sheathed on the first tumbler 41 in the face of the first groove 417 and with the second tumbler 43.This moment, the second fixed part 433 was sheathed on the first fixed part 419, and the first fixing hole 4191 and the second fixing hole 4331 corresponding communicating.A plurality of fixtures 47 are arranged in respectively in corresponding first fixing hole 4191 and second fixing hole 4331 so that the first tumbler 41 is connected with the second tumbler 43 splines.The second fitting surface 431 of the second tumbler 43 is fixedly installed on the second mechanical arm 20, has more than finished the installation of robot arm 100.
During use, actuator 31 drives flexbile gear 33 rotations, and flexbile gear 33 drives the first mechanical arm 10 and steel wheel 35 rotates, and steel wheel 35 drives 20 rotations of the second mechanical arm by flexbile gear protection structure 40.Because it is poor that flexbile gear 33 and steel wheel 35 have the number of teeth, meeting is so that the first mechanical arm 10 is different from the rotating speed of the second mechanical arm 20, and bearing 37 can be isolated the rotation between the first mechanical arm 10 and the second mechanical arm 20.When the second mechanical arm 20 is collided the generation excessive torque; for example surpass a preset value; the second mechanical arm 20 drives the second tumbler 43 and rotates and fixture 47 is fractureed relative to the first tumbler 41; making the second tumbler 43 do self adaptation relative to the first tumbler 41 by a plurality of rolling members 45 rotates; and then interrupt the power transmission of the first mechanical arm 10, thereby protect first, steel wheel 33, the elements such as 35 be without prejudice.
When the moment of torsion that flexbile gear that the robot arm 100 of embodiment of the present invention adopts protection structure 40 is born by fixture 47 is set so that when the second mechanical arm 20 is excessive; and fixture 47 is made by hard crisp ceramic material; so that the fixture rigidity is stronger; and when being subject to excessive torque; because its material is more crisp; under strain, fracture, can interrupt being connected of the second mechanical arm 20 and deceleration device 30, thereby deceleration device 30 is not damaged.This flexbile gear protection structure 40 only comprises first, second tumbler 41,43, a plurality of rolling member 45 and four fixtures 47, and structure is comparatively simple.Because adopting less Connection Element, thereby have higher rigidity, and can not increase the volume of robot arm 100 on overall structure.In addition, owing to be provided with line cylinder 50, thereby can increase the axiality of deceleration device 30 and flexbile gear protection structure 40, reduce the shake of robot arm 100.
The quantity that is appreciated that the first fixing hole 4191 and the second fixing hole 4331 can change as required, and the quantity of fixture 47 correspondingly changes, and is for example one or more.
The aperture that is appreciated that the first fixing hole 4191 and the second fixing hole 4331 can change as required, and the diameter of fixture 47 correspondingly changes so that its moment of torsion of being preset at the second mechanical arm 20 can rupture.
Be appreciated that first, second tumbler 41,43 and a plurality of rolling member 45 can be by crossed roller bearing by the first fixed part 419 being set and the second fixed part 433 is made.
In addition, those skilled in the art also can do other variation in spirit of the present invention, and certainly, the variation that these are done according to spirit of the present invention all should be included in the present invention's scope required for protection.
